Beaver Lake Fishing Chart

[Feathers and Fins]

I have been spending a good amount of time this winter pouring over my logs trying to build a quick chart for Beaver to cut down on time and energy for fishing and finally finished it.

I thought sharing it would be nice to help people if possible. This is the primary species I target frequently, I did not include Bass other than smallies as there are a million articles on them and everyone has their own opinions and arguments is why they are not included. Gar is primarily a spring early summer thing and with them its simple, White fly and cast to them.

Hope you enjoy and find these helpful

Send me your bass logs. I'm not opinionated at all.

I might confuse bass logs with catfish logs if you aint careful.

Great information. I for one really appreciate the information that you share. I do have a question. How do you determine which arms have a current?

[Feathers and Fins]

Pretty simple. those with creeks flowing in to them or springs always have some movement. But when they generate all of them to a degree do. I do however concentrate on ones with certain current. Montne, Prairie Creek, Ventris, etc.

If I review the beaver lake map, does it identify those that have water running into them? Also, like prarie creek there are times that water is running in and times when it does not. Is that a factor?

[Greg W]

Another question, how about coose does it have water running into it?

[Feathers and Fins]

PC, always has water running in it, it is fed by Lake Atlanta on rare occasion it is even possible to catch a trout from there. The biggest effects on PC is after a big flooding spring rain the catfish will get in there big time.

Coose has running water but unlike PC it is more run-off generated than constant flow.

Maps are all fine but it takes time on the lake to know what has running water constantly or a spring etc. Learning the History of the lake before it was a lake is a big help as is watching your temp gauge when motoring around and best yet is getting out on low water years and observing things. I have found a few springs not on maps in low water years some only a couple of feet wide but in middle of winter they will be much warmer and knowing where they are produces nicely. It is a lot of work and years to get that info.
